Lack of Progress

I have developed a tremor.
This severely affects my ability to use a keyboard and makes trying to update anything a very slow and tedious business. It also means I tend to spill coffee all over the place.

I am hoping for some improvement, but it looks like it will take a while.

Shakey Susie :)

Back in Service

After a prolonged break for various reasons, the boats are up and running again.
Well almost..........

I have rewritten all of the scripts and have spent hours (days) testing them.
Last week everything sank.......I wasted more time until I found out the Lindens had made a little server upgrade, which broke notecard readers.
That bug got fixed quickly (it also affected sex beds and intan dance balls)

Next problem is the ferry routes - some work, some don't.
The problem is object entry permissions - I have asked Michael Linden to see if he can change a "few" (34) for me.

Corsica is running fine along the south coast...the north coast is still a bit fragmented
Gaeta is the opposite - north coast is great - south is a wipeout
Hetrocera - only one region causing an issue and I have worked round it.
Sansara - a little rerouting to avoid some "Mole" hills and it seems ok
Nautilus City Isle tour- I am sitting on the boat route testing as I write this.

I am working on some new routes - including extending the Sansara run to Bay City

I am sure there are more bugs to be ironed out - but that will come in time

The ferry bar at Pelvoux has gone....I do have another location but its not yet ready for public use.

Will try and keep the blog updated at more frequent intervals (like less than a year between posts)

All Services on Hold

I have been holding off until now, but there seem to be some new "quirks" in the 1.40 server family.
Boats are going off course, failing to report and failing to self delete.
Until I can work out exactly what is happening I am suspending all services.

Havok 7

Linden Labs have just rolled the pilot of server 1.40 which includes and upgrade the physics engine. I am monitoring my boats to see if there are any problems - so far so good.

Other news - Hetrocera outer loop is back up and running but there are some new sim expanders than are NOT phantom. The boats should get around them but since they are at the edge of the world I cannot reroute.

Langdale docks rez point has moved a few metres West

My thanks to Tino Tungl for still keeping this pier available as a public launch site.

Blockages

Some kind soul has managed to block the Heterocera outer loop with a bunch of non-phantom off sim extenders - I have stopped the service until I have time to reroute

Langdale dock currently out of service as the pier has moved and I need to reconfigure the lauch location.

All Services in Operation

Rollout doesn't seem to have caused any disasters - all scheduled services up and running again.

Server 1.38.6 Deploy - Services Suspended

All scheduled services are suspended until the rollout of 1.38.6 is complete and proven to be stable.

I expect to reactiate all services at approx 14:00 on 26 May
